The life OF the Sultan of Turkey, is in
about as great jeopardy these times as that
of his confrere the white Gar 1t is
also remarkable that as great an amonnt of
ingenuity is brought to bear against that of
the Turkish autocrat, as against the Russian.
Not long since we recounted an attempt
made upon the Cars life by means Of
placing an internal machine in an egg,
which resulted in the sudden disappearance
of his faithful hencheman Mr.. Popoff; now
it appears that an equally ingenious attempt
has been made to end the existence of the
Sultan. His serene dirty bighness's IS appe-
tite for raw sausages, is ass unsuitable as
the Cars for raw eggs, and as in the
Cars case, the would be assassin seized
upon his masters weakness, as factcr to
assist him in his designs. The sausage,
unlike the egg, reached the plate for which
it was intended, and was being manipulated
whole by his majesty in the usual style,
when feeling something h I'd therein, he
withdrew it from his mouth to find, "A
button, and behind it the instrument of
death, bomb OF small dimensions, but
sufficiently powerful to blow him to pieces.
1t was that button saved him by preventing
his tooth to enter the Aperture and touch
the spring which would have exploded the
bomb. 1t subsequently transp,red that a
small boy had disappeared the day previous,
and it is supposed he had tumbled into the
royal sausage machine and been ground up
pants and all, which theory accounts fol
the presence of the button in the sausage
The mothers grief at the loss of her sor
is conquered by plide at the thought of his
having been the means of saving the life o
her royal master.
The 21st of June will be a great day a
mong the local ''licksplttles.
Bakers and Brewers are busy boycottint
their employers, or attempting to do so
II anyone deserves to be boycotted it is tn
proprietor of Woodward's s Gardens for al
lowing the same to be used for the glorifi
cation of a biggoted, cruel and un chari
table woman, who robs and tyranize
over the English, Scotch and Welsh, ant
whose nightly prayer is, that 'sthe crue
and jagged wheels of Coercion" may b
: speedily set in motion in Ireland. Thos
) who are so fond of their dear queen ough
to go back, live under her rule, and la
taxes to support her, and the dirty crow
of German loafers that hang about her, a
they did before.
We don't take stock in queens out here
: and moreover, it is ar Insult to the princi
pies and constitution of the American
, Nation that such demonstration shuult
take place in our midst.
) Collector Hager has received instruction

this port of French Convicts from New Cal

permitted, the next batch of foreigners Il
land would be consignment of expires
from Newgate Prison, London, which woult
, doubtless be followed up by similar visit
ations from all the iails in Europe.

latest dispatches to recover his sight il
which case Russia will object to him as
candidate for the throne of Bulgaria. Buck

well, but that potentate would take no stock
in Buck!y with his eyes open. Not much
